Kaplan is a voting member in 2023

Feds Kaplan is expected to speak at 10:30 AM ET.  Last week (August 20) Kaplan shifted his stance a bit due to the Delta variant. 

Fed's Kaplan on Fox Business

• The big "imponderable" is path of Delta virus.
• So far the Delta virus has not had a material effect on mobility
  
• Delta virus is limiting production output and slowing return to office
  
• will be watching it Delta carefully
  
• if Delta is having a more negative effect on GDP growth could cause me to adjust my views
  
• a big economic variable is how quickly to get people vaccinated; right now in a negative trend as far as spread of Delta virus

That is in contrast to comments he made on August 11 when he was more hawkish.
